My TAPPI Story: McKenna Goulette
This paper describes a flame plasma surface treating system successfully applied to a coating line operating from 100m/min (328 fpm) to 1000m/min (3280 fpm). The line coats a variety of polymer and paper substrates. This is one of the fastest coating lines operating in a manufacturing environment. The issues in applying a flame treating system to this range of line speeds and how they were addressed will be presented. The results obtained with flame plasma treatment at line speeds of 800m/min (2624 fpm) – 1000m/min (3280 fpm) will be compared with the results using corona treatment at significantly lower line speeds.
